At the UCSF Sickle Cell Center of Excellence, our comprehensive sickle cell team includes sickle cell specialists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, registered nurses, genetic counselors, social workers, dietitians, psychologists, research staff and community health workers. We are committed to empowering people of all ages who are living with sickle cell, along with their families, to be strong,
active and informed participants in their care. Telehealth options are available for your convenience. 

Adults with sickle cell disease receiving comprehensive care
from a sickle cell specialist enjoy better health outcomes, including fewer emergency visits and hospitalizations.
